I want to first say thank you to those who have responded to my first post about my first build. I have learned a lot and taken feedback from other sites as well and came up with a revised list that I would like a second opinion on. I learned a lot between those times and I learned what to properly look for in parts. For those who are curious, here is the first post of my computer.
The long and short of the first post is that I would like to keep this computer for about 8-10 years. Which when given the opportunity would like to upgrade the RAM, Storage, GPU, and etc. My use cases are mostly productivity with engineering mostly in mind, the building of machine learning applications, as well as parallel computing/networking with a makeshift cluster of raspberry pi computers.
My last build as pointed out will basically be obsolete in a couple of years, shortening the lifespan of the computer but I have learned from then. I also learned that power supply is going to be sufficient enough for my needs during that time. Since I used a little over half I still have plenty of room to work with in the future. I would also like to address that I have come up with a better place to put the computer to allow better airflow in the computer outside the closet for those coming back wondering about that. A lot of my first build was just ignorance and basic lack of understanding of what to be looking for in terms of compatibility
This time around I just have a couple other questions; I am getting an air cooler heatsink with about 3 more fans for the cooler system, will that be too much or will it be ok for the application I would like to apply to the PC. Finally, for the monitor I would like to have it be certified refurbished from Ebay to save on money. Would you recommend that or just buy it new?
Thank you again for your help.
